Bad Combination

As I have said before, red dye and Abigail are a bad combination. But, how about this -- red dye, caffeine, and a 2 hour nap! That spells destruction.

In the morning, I had bought the kids a Sunkist drink because orange drinks are caffeine free. At lunch, they had hardly drank any of it, so I put it in the fridge. After Abigail took a nap for over 2 hours, she got the rest out of the fridge. It never dawned on me until she had drank about 90% of the drink, that it probably had red dye. When I checked the back, I was right. Then, to my horror, I also saw "CAFFEINE" in the list of ingredients. WHAT? I thought it was caffeine free. I had bought a diet one because I am trying to cut some sugar for them, and apparently, they have caffeine.
